@blm1007blm1007 I’m not a Jimmy 🙂 but yes, I’m mindful of and very grateful for all those who work in science and those who share in this forum.

I know protocols and treatments change, of course as new evidence becomes available. I don’t have MAC but I watched one of the videos that Sue had again recently posted. It was very informative and helped explain when and why providers make decisions about recommending ‘the big 3’ to patients.

I noticed the presenter emphasized that knowing the specific organism and the subspecies even is so critical to that final decision.. in addition to any changing CT scans etc. It’s a big decision but the research showed that in some cases treatment was necessary, to either halt or possibly provide a cure. I understand your concern about possible illnesses and what antibiotics would be used at that point, should you start on those big 3. Maybe your provider could answer that question or others here, with experience.

Wishing you the best as you make a decision.
